Amid protests by local Dem-ocrats,
approximately 200
members of the Flagstaff
Chamber of Commerce attended a
health care summit Aug. 28 at the
Radisson Woodlands Hotel.
The Northern Arizona Health
Care Policy Summit was sponsored
by the Chamber of Commerce and
the Flagstaff Medical Center and
was open only to members of the
two host organizations. The meet-ing
included a panel of health care
experts from the Arizona Hospital
and Healthcare Association, the
Arizona Chamber of Commerce
and Industry, Banner Health and
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona.
The event concluded with a
keynote speech by U.S. Rep. John
Shadegg of Arizona's 3rd congres-sional
district, who discussed his
plan for health care policy. Sen.
John McCain was originally going
to give the keynote speech, but had
to cancel to attend the memorial of
the late Ted Kennedy.
Shadegg, who introduced his
first health care bill when he be-came
a congressman in 1995, said
both sides of the health care debate
have similar goals, but different
means to get to those goals.
“All the [Democrat and Re-publican]
bills in Washington
[D.C.] say ‘cover all Americans,'”
Shadegg said. “The different bills
have different ways of doing that,
but they all say ‘cover all Ameri-cans.’”
Shadegg said Republicans
want to provide a stipend of $2,500
to individuals and $5,000 to fami-lies
so they can purchase their own
health care. The Democrats want
to create a public option where the
government would compete with
insurance companies to provide
health care.
“The President’s bill would ex-pand
government control of health
care to an extent I find breathtak-ing,”
Shadegg said.

Many Voices,” a two-week-long

discussions to help with interaction
between participants on Aug. 24 in
the du Bois ballroom, followed by
events from Aug. 26 to Sept. 3 cel-ebrating
the voices of a variety of
different cultures.
“The purpose of One Com-munity,
Many Voices is to enclose
dialogue around diversity,” said Ja-mie
S. Patton, director of the Multi-
Cultural Student Center. “We want
to eliminate assumption or intimi-dation
and change how we look at
each other.”
On opening night, the discus-sion
focused on a hypothetical sce-nario
involving a stereotypical slur.
Participants were asked what
